Honey gets its sweetness from 2 main simple sugars, Fructose and Glucose.

The composition of honey is
Fructose
Glucose
Reducing Sugars
Sucrose.


The composition of our table sugar(Granulated) is:
Sucrose. Sucrose is a Disaccharide of fructose and glucose.

The sweetness of honey is dependent on how rich it is in fructose, higher the fructose, more the sweetness.

Eating honey will not make you healthy; it's not a miracle food. It's just slightly better than Table sugar.
If you're diabetic, honey won't prevent the same adverse effects that would come from eating sugar.

While you will read all kinds of hype about how much healthier honey is than regular ol' table sugar, most of that info spouted by Internet "health"sites, "10 things you need to know about honey" type click-bait sites, and "alternative" health gurus is just that-HYPE.

Honey has some medicinal properties as an antibacterial and antiseptic when applied to wounds and particular skin conditions, but when taken internally, eaten, honey is fundamentally a sugar syrup.

Honey is about 17% water. The rest is mostly fructose and glucose, followed by varying concentrations of as many as 20 additional sugars and oligosaccharides. There are trace amounts (total of 1% or less) of protein and amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and the organic acids and esters that lend flavor and aroma.

If you wanted to use honey as a vitamin supplement or source of protein, you would have to eat pounds of honey a day to get enough of those ingredients to be in any way beneficial. Pounds of sugar syrup.

honey and table sugar are like chalk and cheese

table sugar is heavily refined and void of any minerals
it's just sugar

eating honey isn't just eating sugar. honey also contains bee pollen of which different types have different health benefits. honey contains iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium etc.

Bitter truth!
Some people consume honey anyhow thinking it will prevent them from any cubic sugar related diseases.

Not to even talk of all those adulterated honey we have in the market, which is 60% raw sugar.

What do you understand by sugar?
Table sugar contains SUCROSE.
Honey contains fructose and glucose.
Both sucrose, frutose and glucose are SUGAR.

Bee pollen doesn’t contain all what you said.

you are running away from what i said
you commented that honey is only slightly better than table sugar

i told how honey is significantly beter than table sugar

Maynman:

honey .... It's just slightly better than Table sugar.

You made a bunch of claims that are FALSE.

Who told you sucrose has no nutrients?
Sucrose, a disaccharide, is a sugar composed of glucose and fructose subunits.

What sugar does honey contain?
The regular honey you buy does it contain bee pollen?

Maynman:

You made a bunch of claims that are FALSE.
Who told you sucrose has no nutrients?

u still running away from what i said

quote where i said sugar has no nutrients
but i will tell you now that table sugar has very little nutrients

Maynman: Sucrose, a disaccharide, is a sugar composed of glucose and fructose subunits.
What sugar does honey contain?

still nothing to do with what i said

Maynman: The regular honey you buy does it contain bee pollen?

it matterss not, honey has significantly more nutrients than table sugar, oh runaway

You lack comprehension of what i said. You don’t even what “sugar” means.
Kindly Show us the “significant nutrients” honey contains

We are talking about honey and sugar not bee pollens
Does regular honey contain bee pollen?

Stop making FALSE statements, regular honey doesn’t contain pollen bee.
Why don’t you show us the “significant nutrient” that honey contains or you can continue making dumb statements, oh illiterate.

That's an awesome post!
Deep insights.
